    Spice vs black soft tops on dark green

    The Quadratec website has a drop down under the Replace-a-top that gives a good representational pic. I'm not encouraging you to buy from them, just a better view than the Bestop website.

    Spice vs black soft tops on dark green

    I have a shale green metallic 2002 and have the same dilemma. I was leaning toward the Bestop dark tan instead of the brighter spice. They might send samples if you call.

    Need advice on black wheels

    I like Plastidip but decided to buy inexpensive black steel wheels because I didn't like the look of Jeep Ravine wheels painted black. Just my preference.

    Suggestions on clear-coat to use for paining shocks

    I don't remember but probably 120. You just need a good scuff to remove the gloss. Start with a medium coarse sand and you will be able to tell the difference as you go.

    Suggestions on clear-coat to use for paining shocks

    Thanks, I bought black boots from Rancho. A few experienced people on this site suggested not to use the boots as they would hold dirt and debris and cause more damage. I'm not an offroad driver and when removing my brick-stiff Bilstein shocks, I looked under that boot and the shock stems...

    Suggestions on clear-coat to use for paining shocks

    I bought some new Ranchos and didn't like the white either. I sanded and painted with a few coats with Krylon fusion and no clear coat. Rears have been installed for a while and still look good. Fronts go on soon.

    Best factory color on a TJ?

    Really liked the old green Land Rover Defenders, when I found this TJ it had that traditional look.(came new with dark tan top) Original Jeep was green, right? In all honesty, I would love any TJ that was mine.

    Thank you for recommending Rancho RS5000X shocks!

    I certainly appreciate and respect your experience on this. I have had the Bilsteins on for a year with boots...going to open up the boots after I remove the shocks and see how they look. Thanks

    Thank you for recommending Rancho RS5000X shocks!

    I dont go offroad much and really wanted to replace that hard red plastic boot on the rear shock with the soft black rubber boot. I cut the neck just to the first rib, oiled the shock, and slid the boot over the bar pin. Looks clean. I debated keeping them off but my only concern in the deep...

    Just had this happen to me. I can separate the plugs but the locking red tab broke. Where did you order the replacement connector from? Part#?
